Helena Waris
A PATH DRAWN TO A DREAM
A sensitive first novel, a love story and fantasy adventure set in the ancient Nordic world
Siblings Arni, Troi and Aile were separated as children – tossed by high seas, made fearful by an enormous fire.
Arni is still waiting for the others years later at the foot of a snowy mountain, alone in the dark. Troi has become a thunder man, a voyager who tirelessly searches for a sky with its stars in the right places. And Aile, scorned as a witch, viewed as an outsider, meets her soul mate in the forest and they go together to look for their real home.
Each of them has their own way of life, their own story, told with intensity and sensitivity. Dreams rise from the depths of their minds and gradually grow into memories, the mythological power of nature is revealed, and the artfully woven strand of the novel emerges. The siblings don’t remember each other, but they travel toward each other, protected by the old power and the people they love.
Helena Waris (born 1970) is a mother of four and a gardener. A Path Drawn to a Dream is a startlingly skilful first novel that will cast its spell on readers of all ages.
